Fonts, bloody fonts…

Fonts are like outfits… you try to choose something individual but in the end we all have to look pretty much the same most of the time. Business attire for the office… business fonts for the office communications. I always try to get away with a Kidprint memo here or there… or maybe Candy Pieces for a letter title, but usually we’re all drinking the KoolAid with Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, Tahoma… or *gulp* Times New Friggin’ Roman.

We should all go here… FontFreak.com, where the fonts are multitudinous and the price is right. This site was suggested to me by the web designer who created the site for Terra Nova Church. I have found a few that you will definitely see in a later iteration of Negative99. Pr3++y k00| §+Uff 8-O

On a random brainwave… I think you really know you’re an engineer when someone sees your handwriting on a contact roster being circulated around a room and says to you, “Wow! Cool! What font is that?”

    We should be considerate of others. Not only in the font we pick. But in the size we set it. Thirty percent smaller than the height and width of any users default? You’ve got to be kidding, Try reading mousetype on a 1280, 1400, or larger monitor. Even with zoom.

    Also try dafont.com – I used it a lot in college for design projects.

    We have a running joke about fonts in my TVC small group . . . every week I have to pick a new font for the Scripture/song lyrics or people raise a (playful) stink.
